John Rahm
 

Walks of. the 18th green Saturday leading by six strokes, met by officials who advise he has tested positive for Corona Virus. He is forced to withdraw from tournament.
He had already been vaccinated for Covid.

Did he get a second test? I would've

Are you sure?? Fully vaccinated??? :popcorn:

///

No, No, NO he had NOT been vaccinated. The PGA declined to give out the information as to his vaccine status, since it was not theirs to disclose, HOWEVER.....they stated that the protocol only called for daily testing as part of contact tracing IF AND ONLY IF the person was NOT vaccinated (which kind of gives the show away, since they also stated Rahm had been undergoing daily tests)

Why do people continue to post crap they know nothing about??????

I feel bad for him, but ... my understanding, not confirmed other than by golfing eagles, is that he had not been vaccinated.

If that’s the case, why not??

When he was informed of the positive test, I heard him say “not again”. Does that mean he had tested positive previously, or that he had COVID before? I don’t know. I do have questions.

Sadly, he left a lot of money out on the golf course.

Who is sorry now?

To get a rise out of you..............quit falling for it and their fun will be eliminated.

He had NOT been vaccinated against Covid-19.

This may be a duplicate.

NO.

John Rahm had NOT been vaccinated.

Wow..............did I hear that right??

Nance said only 50% of the players are vaccinated.

Yes the PGA stated that. And no percentage on caddies given. What are they all thinking?????

Or not thinking

Unbelievable! I felt so sorry for him but that was such a bad decision. No sympathy now. Do they think they’re superhuman?

Because it's easier than doing any actual research?

Pretty much the same as the general population... Plus, they are outdoors, most of time...

"U.S. share of the population vaccinated CDC data shows that about 51% of Americans have received at least one dose and about 41% are fully vaccinated."

P.S. This is as of 4 days ago...

Positive test was confirmed shortly thereafter

How does it feel to be publicly so wrong and have future credibility take a hit

It's not so bad, Meteorologist do it every day. :a040:

Saddest part his parents are arriving from Spain he hasn't seen them in 2 years nor have they seen their grand baby

I'll go 50:50 on that post...

but what if it was the vax antibodies that produced that result? is it possible?

"Thoughts and prayers" to anyone who *can* be vaccinated, *chooses* not to, gets COVID-19 and/or loses income or livelihood as a result. Woops.

Well, in this specific case he can't have "antibodies" from the vaccine since he was never vaccinated. Besides, the test is for COVID-19 antigen. But in general, I have the same question as to whether or not the vaccine response can result in false positives on the standard COVID test. For example, 3 out of 4 neighbors who were going on a trip were fully vaccinated but tested positive. Also there is the case of the NY Yankees. Yet the CDC breakthrough rate is only 0.008%, which would totally conflict with the anecdotal info. I could find anything by a (reliable, not conspiracy theory) source.

The same thing as the majority of the people in the service one of whom I'm extremely close with. He told me that as soon as it's fully approved he'll get the shot. What can I tell you? I did my best to raise him properly and once he is 3 times 7 I guess I have to accept his decisions. Even if I think he's lost his mind, temporarily.

When they go to boot camp they get shots for things they don't have a clue about they are for. Why say no to the Covid shot?

Just for the record. I don't judge anyone else about their decision on the Vaccination. They are none of my business. I guess my son is really none of my business either at this point. I'm proud of him in many other categories in life but this one, I DUNNOOOO! :pray:

Anything is possible and everything on ToTV is true.

:MOJE_whot:

Long term effects of vaccine still bothers people. It could make him sterile or worse make him 3 putt a lot!🤪🤪🤪

You pay to insure your car, home and life. Why not insure your health? It's free!

That great philosopher Andy Rooney said this: “People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe”. Perhaps that is why we have conspiracy theories that pop up on TOTV from time to time. 1.674 million is what John Rahm might have won if he hadn’t tested positive for Covid on this past Saturday. That is a fact.

So Rahm tested positive, and still was playing golf, and doing well. Good for him showing no effects, and still continued to play.

Wow, the original post was about Jon Rahm I thought. Response after response from online experts about this that and the other thing. Regardless of your personal position on vaccines, masks, science and politics it was very hard to see him told on live tv about his positive test. A little compassion and understanding would be good.

He had not been vaccinated which is why they were testing him every day. No sympathy for him. He should have gotten vaccinated.

It is totally asinine that they are testing them at all. Are they testing all the fans that come to the tournaments?

Agree, they could have told him in private.
:ohdear::ohdear:

The whole mask, vaccination, distancing situation is out of control in many respects.
I could never understand tv commentators out in the open air, wearing a mask, when no other person was near.
Could hardly understand a word they said.
Total nonsense!

no, he got vaccinated when informed of the contact. too late then
 

no, he got vaccinated when informed of the contact. too late then

Just proof for some naysayers....you can get covid after the vaccine. Thats been reported millions of times

For the TEN THOUSANDTH TIME, NO YOU CAN"T!!!!!
The breakthrough rate is 0.008%, which represents 5,318 cases out of the first 85,000,000 fully vaccinated, NOT "millions" And you consider one individual , asymptomatic, that tested positive a few days after 1 dose of the vaccine "proof" that you can get COVID after vaccination. Thank God you're not a scientist on this project.

fake news

Next will be if you prove positive to the flue or the common cold.
He wouldn't be in close contact for 1 more day with anyone he hadn't been with for the past week.
I'm surprised they didn't seal him in a bubble suit and cart him away.
